At the risk of sounding like a boring wanker Please PLEASE wear PPE (Gloves & Goggles at a minimum) when using acid. You only get one set of eyes, lads. EDIT: This comes from the dickhead that recently nearly lost an eye when a cutting disk exploded on my angle grinder and flew past my...

Acid isnt as scary as most people think it is. But it does have potential to ruin the finish of the wheels - which is mostly why people tend to steer clear. Work one wheel at a time and DONT let it dry on. Multiple rounds of cleaning are better than letting it dry. Its hard to say, I havent...

oooooo she baked! Yeah, that looks totally revivable to me from where im sat. Going to need some strong stuff to shift it but I wouldnt necessarily jump straight to acid. Few rounds of some nice strong mixed Smart Wheels and id have said that would shift. You can see where some of it has...

Ill be honest and say that I didnt rate Iron X very highly. It was 'ok' but nothing id rave about. Ive tried many others, for less money ill add, that did a better job. ValetPro Dragons Breath is one of the best, but expensive. Then again, if you're only doing wheels then its worth grabbing a...

Few options here, in order of 'harshness': Normal, non acidic wheel cleaner. A good one is a must. I like Autosmart Smart Wheels. non-acidic and actually works a charm! Fallout/Wheel cleaner combo. Fallout remover neat (this is where things get more agressive) Heavily diluted acidic wheel...

Been YONKS since I properly sat down and played some games. I could be up for it!

Guys can you all be nicer to Mark please, it was his first trackday.

Wait, @Cub. had a flamer?

FWIW you boys would almost definitely have been doing more than 110 before rocket! I peeked down a few times and my speedo was showing just a smidge over 110 in the compact. It ever so slightly over-reads (75 indicated is 70gps). Im pretty sure some borrowed Meta Raybans should show that too...

Flol, so the Compact really does lean as much from outside the car as it feels like inside the car :ROFLMAO:

Me in the Compact seeing a yellow ballistic missile approaching:

only problem was, all I then heard was @Sir_Dave grunting and farting in his tent.

Morning chaps. Tis I, Fantastic Nostrils/Sir Sidnancy/Will (@Daniel , this is me now. Blame Cub.) Ill keep it short but what a great event as per. Hats off to the guys who organise it all. Ive been a very small part of organising an event 1/10th the size of CS and that was very hard work...

Not the same I know, but I only have experience with Nankangs NS2Rs do have a direction, but only in the wet. In the dry they can be used both ways. Like @Rojer , they go both ways wheeeeey

You bend it, you mend it. No returns, refunds, crying, ejaculation or fecal matter.

chuck me the keys and ill tell you if its fine or not But dont worry, ive got the Compact as collateral. So its all safe.

Silicon spray to make all the plastics look 'new'. In reality it makes them horrible and it can be a bit of an arse to remove it. Go with a diluted apc as Crybert suggested, that should do the trick :)

I'm glad you guys like it! I honestly wouldn't buy another one now, they're awesome 😎

Lemme check in with Flobby and come back to you mate. Id love to though!

Im meant to be convoying up in the Compact with @Flob Which we all know means ill be in wales, with a pizza on the go before he even leaves his house

Well thats me put right off my rice pudding.

the Glaco stuff by Soft 99 is definitely the best (imho) Super easy to use and remove. I tried the Gtechniq stuff once and it was a joke to remove. Granted, it was warm out but still did it inside the garage!

Just another perspective on this. Before that though, I will say its easy for me to spend your money for you. A 3T option is marginally more expensive than the others. But it buys you more 'headroom' on lifting ability and, id argue, would make it safer. Much as you'd never work under your...

Without fabric conditioner

I think I have the XL one. XXL might become a proper unweildly monster if youre not careful. With the size of your cars, going from memory here, you should be dandy with just the XL one. I think I did a Disco 3 with mine and it was only as I got to where i'd started that i got any kind of...

I jumped on amazon and just bought a 'twisted loop drying towel' (like below). Id had tonnes of them. The AF one, the AG ones (both kinds), blowers etc etc etc. This thing is the absolute nuts. Can launch it over my head, onto the roof, drag it off and its bone dry. Does the whole car without a...

Is the Covid thread behind the pay wall? Ive not a clue how to check but ive always wondered if it could ever get behind a paywall!

Bring the handcuffs, handsome 😘

Whos camping this year? Ive got @Sunglasses_Ron and Stan the man down

The smallest bottle they sell will be absolutely fine, I think its a 15ml as you mentioned. Seriously, the stuff goes miles. Id expect you to be able to do all youve mentioned and still have a fair bit left over
